Knitting and Drinking
On Wednesdays, many, many yarn crafters all over the world post what they are working on and what they are reading. Unless you want a run down of my *thrilling* emails, I never participate…If only it was a Knitting/Crocheting and DRINKING meme…I could say more.
And today is oh-so-very one of *those* days. It started with me being woken up by a 1 year old in my bed rubbing toothpaste on his feet (then sucking it off), then moved onto a blocked toilet (caused by a soap dish down the loo), G pretending to be a snake the entire time we were at the stores, E insisting that he *is* the King of Scotland and we all have to do what he says, and then culminated with me singing the song "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley as we drove home from the grocery store at the top of my voice so I wouldn't have to be asked yet again how stickers are made…needless to say, wine o'clock can not come sooner tonight.

yeah but at least you’re not bored…. ;~)
and some days I wonder how I get through life without drinking.
having an equally bad day here. I am up for Wine in Progress Wednesdays.
I never participate either… But I’ll tell you. Drinking coffee and knitting a beach top for my 3 year old girl. I have been having days like this too and end my night with a glass of wine. Had a bad storm here and knocked out my Internet and cable so the kids are stir crazy a bit too. As soon as it’s fixed I can put a new post. In the mean time I knit and keep drinking.
Days like today make me wish I could drink something stronger than tea… :S
Wine o’clock. Oh is this possbly nearly as good a creation as your yarn delights. Yes, I think it just nudges in! Another reason to love your blog. Wine o’clock- oh please say we can all use that?!
Oh I love a good wine o’clock. It comes when it is needed. Lucky you to get some knitting in to. i have to admit to putting on a lot of weight recently and II’m sure it has a lot to do with my daily “knock off” routine of having a beer in my bath (to wash off all the paint) every night. I may also be indulging in the medinal glass of wine (or two ) to kill the pains in my shoulders and neck from being up a ladder all day.
When #3 was a babe, he was known to shout “you can’t say that to me! I’m king of the world!”… He’s nearing 13, and things haven’t changed much…..
I figure as I don't eat dairy or sugar, I can have wine. And sometimes you just need a beer in the bath! Its an essential, like air!!
Its not my phrase, so please feel free to use it!!
:-/ hope today is a better one!
That glass of wine looks ever so inviting. I’ve just realised I’m typing this at 06.29am. Too early?!
its wine o'clock somewhere… Australia maybe?
If you start a new meme, I’m in!!!!! Last night a fruity rosé (didnt note the name) and tonight an ice cold Pinot Grigio.
lovely!
is it silly how that sounds like fun? Did the toothpaste help his feet at all?

All the strength be with you for these challenges! and may it be in the form of wine sometimes
I love crafting and drinking as i unwind, often i do far more than expected (not always drinking more than expected)
